Thanks for the correction.

Did you wait until the controller informed you that it had "updated the home point, please check it on the map", before you took off? Be sure to wait for the satellite icon to turn white so the drone has a GPS lock, wait for the home point message and then it will know where to RTH to. Also...

Terrific! Having a drone opens up whole new vistas in the wilds. Just be sure you are aware of the rules in National parks and the like so you don't get into trouble. Having a controller with a built-in screen is very handy. Some "veteran fliers" like the RC-N1 because they can hook up a much...

Follow Frank's advice and reformat the internal storage. It's likely there's a damaged file in there that's compromising the file allocation table reporting incorrect storage space.

FART - haha I like that one. We definitely resemble that one at our house!

I always thought an aviator was a "senior" pilot.

Haha - yes! Only since I'm also a photographer and an audiophile that have only recently started with drones - I've spent an ungodly amount of money on DJI products which has only added to the holes in my pockets. In my hobby fields we call it GAS. Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Every time a new...

Quite thorough, not at all like the fanzine I thought it would be from the title. Reminds me a lot of a magazine I used to get, "Aviation week and Space Technology" that covered a lot of the same field. It would be great to have something as serious for the consumer and Enterprise drone world -...

The dock also has a built in RTK station since the use case scenario is generally repetitive and unmanned for security or regular monitoring of large industrial installations - like hydro, oil and gas, water treatment, etc. Waypoint missions are created and executed using RTK for precise...

I use the heavier one most of the time. It's heavy enough to stay put even with my Matrice M30 and folds up easily. I also have the nylon ones with the spring edge, but they almost always need to be staked so they don't blow away.

The drone stops around 5' above the pad normally in an descent as it examines the landing spot with its visual sensor and then descends after a few seconds. The controller says, "landing" when that sequence starts. GPS only gets it so far when landing since the vertical accuracy can be off by a...

Adorama has new for $196 and used for $129.

Taken with my Nikon Z8 and 500mm f5.6 PF lens at totality.

I don't think that matters. The drone starts up and once it has a GPS lock, it applies the rules for that region. Unfortunately.

There was someone on another DJI forum who actually was able to load the DJI Fly app on the RC+ controller. It kinda worked with a lot of features not supported. However, every time he shut off the controller, the Fly app disappeared and had to be resinstalled.
